Lightweight materials market upcoming trends from transportation sector by 2020

Participants in the global lightweight materials market collaborate to develop finished products. Some of the savvy companies are now focusing on the development of new products for the aerospace industry which generates a lot of demand.

At the forefront of driving growth in the lightweight materials market is the booming transportation sector. This is because, lightweight materials, namely aluminum, titanium, and composites help in increasing payload capacity and also enhance energy efficiency in aircrafts, thereby generating increased revenues for airlines.

Because of the energy efficiency they accord, lightweight materials are seeing increased uptake as they serve to bring down carbon emissions from vehicles and aircrafts, thereby contributing to the environment.

One factor posing a challenge to the global lightweight materials market is their steep price. Traditional materials such as steel cost much less.

A report by Transparency Market Research (TMR) forecasts the global lightweight materials market to rise at a tepid 5.80% CAGR during the period from 2014 to 2020. At this rate, the market, which wqas worth US$126.3 bn in 2013 will likely become worth US$186.3 bn by 2020. Volume-wise, the said market amounted to 54,340.3 mn kg in 2013.

Aluminum Emerges as Most Favored Lightweight Material

The global market for lightweight materials can be segmented depending upon the type of product and application. Based on products, for example, the market can be segmented into aluminum, titanium, high strength steel, polymer and composites, magnesium, etc. Of them, aluminum is one of the most popular lightweight materials and accounted for about 30.4% share in market in 2013. In the years ahead too, the segment is predicted to clock maximum growth.

The composite product segment, which consists of glass fiber reinforced plastics, ceramic composites, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, metal matrix composites, and other hybrid materials, will see its market share increase in the upcoming years on account of their functional benefits in comparison with other lightweight materials. However, expensiveness of composites will deter their uptake to an extent. Another important lightweight material titanium will see robust demand too in the next couple of years mainly from the aviation industry.

Based on application, the main segments of the global lightweight materials market are energy, defense, and transportation. Lightweight materials also find application in various medical applications. At present, transportation accounts for most of the share in the market. In 2013, the segment accounted for almost 85% of the share in the market. Railways, aircrafts, and automobiles are the primary transportations that utilize lightweight materials in the manufacture of vehicles to increase payloads, cut down carbon emissions, and better fuel efficiency.

Lightweight materials are also finding application in wind energy systems, particularly in rotor blades.

Asia Pacific Key Market

From a geographical standpoint, Asia Pacific dominated the lightweight materials market, accounting for more than 40.3% of the overall market in 2013. Europe and North America trail Asia Pacific in terms of market share. In the years ahead, these regions will likely see significant growth. The Rest of the World, which now has minimum market share, is forecasted to see maximum growth pace in the upcoming years.

Some of the prominent participants in the global lightweight materials market are Cytec Industries, DuPont, ExxonMobil, Evonik Industries, Bayer AG, Aleris International Inc, Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) and Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI).

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other.

Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and
